“Not many artists make me listen to, not just the words, but the sound of those words, I mean every ‘S’ & every ‘T’. An incredibly smooth, real , natural voice & talent. Beautiful.”

BIO

A singer/songwriter originally from London, Marina’s music crosses a number of genres. Her music has been described as acoustic, Americana, Blues, Country and folk but while it doubtless draws inspiration from all these sources her voice and style are uniquely and identifiably her own.

She has been compared to some of the best vocalists in the music world, from Stevie Nicks to Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash to Nanci Griffiths, Patsy Cline and more. Have a listen & make your own mind up about who springs to mind when you hear her sing.

Marina has recently finished working with The Warm and Toasty Club after having been commissioned, along with co-writer Jules Fox Allen, to compose six songs based on the memories of residents at retirement complexes around the Essex Coast and Colchester. All six songs are now complete and you can support the wonderful work of The Warm and Toasty Club by buying the EPs or just buying one of the tracks. BUY

January 2016 saw Folkstock Records release Marina's latest album This, That & The Other. A self produced & recorded album, she has come a long way from making those first tentative steps...

AwardsMarina came to performing late in life, however, very soon after making the decision to "come out of the kitchen" to widen her audience she was awarded Arts Council funding, via the Escalator Project, to record a debut album, Somewhere Down The Line, using this as a platform she has since reached audiences never previously thought possible.

The self penned song Cry won the Oldies Composers Competition, judged by BBC Radio 2 presenters including Ken Bruce, Bob Harris, Johnny Walker and the late Sir Terry Wogan, resulting in Anthony Head singing the song live on ITVs This Morning, and gaining airplay on numerous radio stations including the BBC.

Marina was nominated on Soundcloud as Soundclouder of the day with the song The Guilty One and also added to their International Women's Day playlist, this has resulted in thousands of plays all over the world.
